CLOUDSEC 2017 India Shed Light on Multifaceted Internet Threats

CLOUDSEC, the leading internet security conference in Asia Pacific
and Europe, today held its seventh annual event in
Mumbai. Hosted by Trend Micro Incorporated, CLOUDSEC 2017 gathered more than 700 industry
experts from across the globe to meet renowned industry thought-leaders who
shared their insights to the business community. Over 20 eminent speakers
provided next-generation solutions, and instructed the organizations to ‘Level-Up’
their fight against cybercriminals.

"Security can no
longer be considered as an after-thought in the larger scheme of things, rather
it should be a well-thought out investment by enterprises, looking to catapult
themselves in a competitive and technology-driven environment. Companies need
to adopt stringent measures to stay ahead of cyber criminals," said
Dhanya Thakkar, Managing Director and Vice President, APAC, Trend Micro.

He further added,
“CLOUDSEC is the best platform for attendees to build their threat intelligence
and improvise their knowledge through the track sessions, panel discussion and
other activities. It gives them the opportunity to know and be aware of the
latest security strategies and the ways to protect against the attackers.”

Present at the event, Nilesh Jain, Country Manager (India
and SAARC), Trend Micro said, “Targeted attacks, Ransomware and
Business Email Compromise (BEC) are some of the newer and stealthier security
challenges faced by enterprises of today. As the cloud and the Internet of
Things (IoT) ecosystem become more interconnected, it is essential for
organizations to reevaluate and redefine their understanding of threats, risks,
and solutions in an ever-changing landscape.”

During the event, Bill McGee, Senior Vice President of Hybrid Cloud
Security, Trend Micro, offered insights on the latest and upcoming trends in
cloud computing, which may challenge current information security mindset and
practices. Simon Piff, Vice President of Security Practice, IDC, explained the
future of IT security technologies and focused on the structural changes
organizations need to make to ensure that the depth of innovation can be best
leveraged to create a holistic and robust enterprise security strategy and
Sunil Varkey, Vice President and CISO, Wipro Technologies, elaborated on trust
and assurance, in the digital world.

Also present at the event was, Christophe Durand, Police Senior
Superintendent, Interpol Global Complex for innovation (IGCI) who explained how
an enhanced attribution process could help in mitigating the cyber risk. Vishal
Salvi, Chief Information Security Officer, Infosys, shared his perspective on
Ransomware and how companies need to treat data protection proactively, getting
the right solutions and processes in place to prepare for the inevitable
attack.

The event concluded with a closing keynote on evolving era of
